Served at the Kuhnhenn brewpub in a pint glass. A lager made with "rice and corn cereal decoction". This batch was 4.8%.

A - Finger of foam settles to a thin cap and a few spots of lace. Clear dark urine color, akin to golden straw.

S - Cereal grain, corn, fruity notes. Pretty convincing macro lager, but thankfully not nearly as skunky or metallic. There's perhaps the faintest hint of floral hop (could this be triple hops brewed?).

T - Taste is pretty clean and smooth, with light fruit and honey malt, and a light bitter finish. Aftertaste is that of generic beer. Pairs well with the free popcorn.

M - This is where the beer shines in comparison to typical macros. Much less of the harsh carbonation, and a crisp light body that is only a touch watery. Light residual stickiness in an otherwise clean finish.

D - It's an above average adjunct lager. Might be a nice way to ease macro drinkers into the brewpub, as not everyone is ready for Fourth Dementia or Solar Eclipse right away. You could drink a lot of this, but I can't see any reason why you'd want to do so.

On tap at the Kuhnhenn Brew Pub.

Poured a medium and clear golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of corn, grainy, and some cereal. Tastes of corn and grainy. Nothing really stood out for either the good or the bad (is that bad for a Pale/Light Lager).

4.5% ABV. Brewed with rice and corn. Pours to a pale straw golden, forming a sparse white head with poor retention and no lacing. Mild to moderate carbonation. Definite corn and rice in the nose with that funky sweetness and associated off-flavors. Light bodied. Tastes like my first homebrew where you use about 3 lbs of malt syrup and 3lbs of corn sugar for a 5gallon batch. Ugh. Zilch bitterness. At least add some hops if you're gonna brew a beer like this. Slightly cloying.

Sampled on draught @ Kuhnhenn Brewing Company in Warren, Michigan. Light yellow color. Doughy aroma, exploding with cereal, corn and pale malts. No off flavors, crisp and clean with a moderate light fruit flavor. Pretty tasty overall. Blows the macros away.

Got a growler of this to take home... I'm suprised no one else has reviewed this beer yet. (NOTE: if you're at Kuhnhenn, give it a try, it's worth it). In any case, the growler version was not as good as straight from the tap. Notable differences were a very "cooked egg" smell and taste that was not apparent when had on tap. Not bad, but different, and not what I was expecting after having straight from the source. Still a good beer.

THE BLOODHOUND FACTOR: Benjie dug this one, and even though he didn't dig the smell that much, I got him to try it, and he quickly emptied the bowl and headed for my glass. Lil' bastard... Once Peaches realized that her brother was knocking things over to get more beer, she decided that it might be good. She then was offered a sample and got right into it.
